Note to self...

I have been thinking about something I wrote at the beginning of June:

Ulrich threw a wicked smile in my direction and began to speak to me, in French, distinctly pronouncing each word, saying something along the lines of: "well… if… I… speak… like… this… I… suppose… you… will… have… no… problem… understanding… me…, yes?…

We all had a laugh, but I was sitting there, comprehending every syllable, thinking:That's right! No problem at all!

It turns out there are some people whose French I have no problem understanding, and those whose French is incomprehensible. Most of the latter are, alas, native speakers.

Not to put too fine a point on the issue, or sound overly cryptic, but there must be an answer somewhere.

Cheers...
